Divorce Invalid Here Follows New York Ruling
Supreme Court Justice Giegerich ruled that a divorce secured in California on a nonstatutory charge is not binding in New York. William J. Kitchener, a composer and violinist, sued Mrs. Alice Bastine for divorce after she had already obtained one in California and remarried Bastine. The decree prevents Bastine from remarrying in New York while his wife is alive, with possible modification after five years. Kitchener also sues Bastine for 10600 dollars for alienation of affections.

After a White House briefing with President Wilson Representative Augustus O Stanley introduced a revised anti trust bill. The measure would apply Sherman law to all restraints on trade and allow individuals and district attorneys to initiate actions, removing the prior sole authority of the Attorney General. The bill also would empower circuits and district courts to hear cases in equity and grant temporary relief as needed. The move follows ongoing White House discussions and expected congressional hearings.
